The King Drive-in in the town of Russellville is the oldest continuously operating drive-in movie theater in the entire state of Alabama. The historic drive-in first opened back in 1949, and is the last drive-in still in operation in northern Alabama.
The outdoor movie theater traditionally has shown movies during the summer season, but now opens earlier in the Spring and remains open later into the fall. It is a more family-oriented drive-in that typically screens double features, as well as occasionally showing trip features, on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Audio is via FM stereo, and there is an on-site concession stand.
